As with most devices in daily use or when returning to use after a long break, it is important to look after rollators and carry out regular maintenance. With the right care, you can extend the service life of your rollator and ensure that it always remains safe and comfortable to use. In this article, we explain what you should pay attention to in order to properly care for your everyday companion.
Thorough cleaning is the first step towards care:
In addition to cleaning, technical maintenance is essential. Keep an eye on everything with our checklist:
Check the frame for cracks or damage.
Check that the handles are secure. These are crucial for your stability and safety.
Test the walking brakes and the parking brake regularly.
If the brakes do not engage reliably, have them readjusted immediately.
Ensure that all nuts and bolts are tightened.
Check moving joints for lubrication, especially if they squeak or are difficult to move.
Look for signs of wear on the tires. Damaged or worn tires should be replaced. With pneumatic tires, check the tire pressure regularly.
Are the wheels not rolling evenly? Check the screws and joints or have the rollator checked by a specialist.
If you are unsure whether you are carrying out maintenance and care correctly or whether a defect on the product is a safety risk, please contact your medical supply store or specialist store immediately! We wish you enjoyable trips and safe progress at all times.
